Happy birthday to @brandonyan.com! May 1st is a great day to have a birthday, I can speak from experience.

That strange sound you hear is millions of Leafs fans ugly crying out of fear that it's all happening again. It's reverberating around the country.

Reading the first Shannara book and enjoying it, but I assume all the books aren't borrowing large scale story bears from Tolkein? Not nearly as bad as the first Wheel of Time book though, and it's far better written.

Dear WSJ Editorial Board, your April 25th piece on Germany's energy transition fundamentally misunderstands both renewable energy systems and modern grid architecture. Your "hostage to weather" narrative misses the mark. 1/

More like Easy Mode. Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Where do I sign up to crowdfund for Patrick Stewart to do the voiceover?

Not for nothing but the trope of jury duty as a burden and a bummer punchline in cultural media is one of those things that we need to stop immediately because it makes a joke of civic engagement and has knock-on effects, eg citizens feeling like they don't have to be actively part of their society.

I would fork over a _very large_ amount of money to get to see this. In a theatre. With popcorn. I would pay a modestly large amount of money to just get to watch it on my TV at home. This is one of those pedantic things that makes me very angry and I could rant for awhile over.

I have a joke about the ship of theseus

1. Scheer is surprisingly personable and a good actor? Absolutely shocked. 2. What even is the thought process here? They're not bleeding red pilled white dudes votes, they're bleeding votes from women who think they're wierd and don't like women. How does this help that?

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Hank Green does real yoeman's work on dispelling online misinfo and I'm looking forward to this one.

The new Doctor Who looks okay.

If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing about discourse in this country it would be to have people on the prairies stop saying "The West" when they clearly are not including BC in their narrative.

I know what I'm watching this weekend.
